The University of Western Australia is a medium-size research university
located in Perth, on the banks of Swan River, 7 km from the Indian Ocean
beach. According to Melbourne Institute Report on the International Standing
of Australian Universities, The University of Western Australia has the
highest research output (measured by a number of publications in major
journals) per academic staff in Australia.
Perth offers unparalleled living environment at reasonable costs.
Our group comprises a multi-disciplinary research team with projects in the
areas of numerical methods, soft tissue biomechanics, surgical simulation,
medical robotics, medical image registration, injury biomechanics and sport
biomechanics. For further project details please consult

or contact Prof. Karol Miller at kmiller at mech.uwa.edu.au .
Three positions are available immediately. Candidates with a Bachelor degree
or equivalent in any area of Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer
Science, Neuroscience, Anatomy or other related fields are encouraged to
apply. Experience with finite element analysis, mesh free methods, image
analysis or graphics hardware would be a distinct advantage.
Approved candidates with First Class Honours or equivalent will receive
tuition fee waiver and scholarships of A$19200 - A$25000, depending on the
choice of the project.
Teaching assistantships are available on top of the scholarship.
